GW Libraries Media Reserves Captioning Resource

When assigning feature-length films, it is a good practice to check the GW Library System’s Media Catalog for copies of those films, even if students might be accessing them in other ways. Allowing multiple means of materials access is a cornerstone principle of universal design.

GW Libraries offer both in-person reserve arrangements as well as electronic reserves that students can access through Blackboard.

When placing a film on reserve, always indicate that you require that item to be closed captioned. You should make this indication in the Comments area on the Media Reserves Request Form.
